Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

ImageMagick works fine from the command line to convert a PDF to a PNG, but from a perl script, I see this in the Apache2 logs:

[Date/Time] [error] [client 123.456.789.999] gs: not found, referer: https://domain.com/path/to/script.pl

I'm running FreeBSD 7, perl 5.8.8, Ghostscript 8.62, and ImageMagick 6.4.4.

Any idea what is wrong?

It looks like Ghostscript (gs) is not in the execution path of your script. You can set the $ENV['PATH'] variable and include the path (e.g. /usr/local/bin).

Thanks for the hint.

The final solution was to add the following:

Another solution is to set the absolute path of gs in the delegates.xml configuration file. Instead of "gs" use, for example, "/usr/local/bin/gs".
